When Work Takes Over, It Affects Everything

Constant deadlines. Long hours. The pressure to perform. Work stress can bleed into every part of your life, leaving you exhausted, irritable, or disconnected from what matters most.

Therapy can help you navigate workplace challenges, rewrite old patterns around achievement, and build balance that feels sustainable.

Signs of Work Stress

  • Chronic exhaustion or burnout

  • Anxiety about deadlines or performance

  • Difficulty resting or “switching off”

  • Overidentifying with work or productivity

  • Strained relationships due to work demands

  • Feeling stuck or unfulfilled in your role

Work stress usually isn’t just about the job — it’s often tied to deeper beliefs about worth, responsibility, and safety. In therapy, we’ll explore:

  • Nervous system tools for regulation and rest

  • Boundaries with work, colleagues, and self-expectations

  • Healing perfectionism and people-pleasing patterns

  • Reconnecting with meaning and values beyond work

How Therapy Can Help

You Weren’t Meant to Live in Overdrive

You are more than your productivity. Therapy can help you reclaim space for rest, connection, and a definition of success that includes you.
